Chapter 27 Only I Can Touch You

• Jessica's gaze never left William as he made his entrance. Her thoughts raced in all directions, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. Why is he here? How does he know where I am? And what will happen to Evan?
• Evan, unaware of Jessica’s internal turmoil, smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet William. “Mr. Newman, it’s so nice to see you around. Good morning,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.
• William’s icy gaze dropped to Evan’s hand, lingering on it as if it were the most repulsive thing he had encountered that day. Then, his eyes moved up to meet Evan’s gaze, sharp and unyielding. He didn’t bother to return the gesture.
